Nice cinematography and I love the cute atmosphere of the piece overall. But I give three stars because I felt (instinctively) the ending was missing something and it could have been a bit better--not the storyline, but the discourse--in other words, the use of shots, expression of actors, the rhythm, etc.

I liked some scenes of chocolate and sweets. Viola's apron is very cute!

I have the same ideas with Daddykins. The story line was disjointed and the pace was very slow for a comedy film. I'm calling it a comedy because it was written this way as the genre; not that I've found it funny.
